The Bruins sophomore goaltender has to be the first in NHL history to win a game while carrying “crushed confidence.” Or at least that’s the condition some diagnosed Rask with after head coach Claude Julien pulled his 23-year-old netminder after just one period Saturday night.

•Nathan Horton ended his nine-game goal drought and Marc Savard did the same to his seven-game goal-less stretch.

•With an assist, Milan Lucic registered a point for the first time in seven games.

•Phil Kessel’s failures against Boston continued, as the speedy winger fired eight shots on goal, three shots that were blocked and four that missed the target. And so continues his goal-less career against his former team.
